Summary
A doctor is being sued for allegedly secretly using his own sperm in 1980s fertility treatments, leading to three pregnancies and two live births — with the mother claiming she never consented to his genetic material. In his response, he admits the deception but argues she agreed to anonymous donor sperm and waived her right to know the donor’s identity. The two adult daughters and their mother are suing for fraud, battery, and emotional distress, demanding damages and a jury trial — while the doctor counters with legal defenses, including statute of limitations and lack of standing, insisting his actions were medically acceptable for the era. The case, still in early stages, pits decades-old medical ethics against modern DNA revelations and questions of consent.
